Summary

Correcting false positive or false negative occupancy alone failed to consistently improve final coverage under a fixed active-mapping planner.

The diagnosis separates geometric completion from downstream planning. A preliminary filter suppresses repeatedly unsupported occupancy while preserving predictions in unexplored space, redirecting some viewpoints toward reachable surfaces.

Why it matters

Correcting false positive or false negative occupancy alone failed to consistently improve final coverage under a fixed active-mapping planner.

Limits and context

No additional limitation was separately recorded.

Key claims

  1. Correcting false positive or false negative occupancy alone failed to consistently improve final coverage under a fixed active-mapping planner.
